Section A
1 A magazine contains a report about the change in sea level around the Solomon Islands.
Five islands in the Pacific Ocean vanish as sea level rises.
Sea level in the Pacific Ocean around the Solomon Islands has been rising by 7 mm per year over the last 20 years.
Five islands that were present in 1947 had completely disappeared by 2014.
Other islands had reduced in size by between 20% and 62% during the same period. Houses are being washed into the sea. On the island of Nuatumbu, only 12 of the 23 houses remain.
The rise in sea level is predicted to continue. A scientist has linked this rise in sea level to carbon dioxide emissions. The scientist said, ‘There is a real risk that entire nations could face extinction.’
(a) Explain how a change in carbon dioxide emissions is linked to a rise in sea level.

The Suez Canal was opened in 1869 and links the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. The canal runs from Port Said to Suez.
Using the canal saves a ship approximately 7000 km compared to the previous route.
The government has plans to increase the width and depth of the canal so it can take larger ships. Scientists are concerned that this will increase the risk of marine species from the Red Sea moving to the Mediterranean Sea.

Big farms must have water to grow plants for export. This could affect the water available for local people.
It’s possible for these big farms and local people to both have all the water they need. It just takes a bit of planning.
